INTRODUCTION

The Nevada CTE Curriculum Frameworks are a resource for Nevada's public and charter schools to

design, implement, and assess their CTE programs and curriculum. The content standards identified in

this document are listed as a model for the development of local district programs and curriculum. They

represent rigorous and relevant expectations for student performance, knowledge, and skill attainment

which have been validated by industry representatives. The intent of this document is to provide a resource to districts as they develop and implement CTE programs and curricula. This program ensures the following thresholds are met: Ɣ The CTE course and course sequence teaches the knowledge and skills required by industry through applied learning methodology and, where appropriate, work-based learning experiences that prepare students for careers in high-wage, high-skill and/or high-demand fields. Regional and state economic development priorities shall play an important role in determining program approval. Some courses also provide instruction focused on personal development. Ɣ The CTE course and course sequence includes leadership and employability skills as an integral part of the curriculum. Ɣ The CTE course and course sequence is part of a rigorous program of study and includes sufficient technical challenge to meet state and/or industry-standards. The CTE program components include the following items:

Ɣ Program of Study

Ɣ State Skill Standards

Ɣ Employability Skills for Career Readiness Standards Ɣ Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs)

Ɣ Curriculum Framework

Ɣ CTE Assessments:

Ɣ Workplace Readiness Skills Assessment

Ɣ End-of-Program Technical Assessment

Ɣ Certificate of Skill Attainment

Ɣ CTE Endorsement on a High School Diploma

CAREER CLUSTERS

The National Career Clusters™ Framework provides a vital structure for organizing and delivering

quality CTE programs through learning and comprehensive programs of study (POS). In total, there are 16 Career Clusters in the National Career Clusters™ Framework, representing more than 79

Career Pathways to help students navigate their way to greater success in college and career. As an

organizing tool for curriculum design and instruction, Career Clusters™ provide the essential knowledge and skills for the 16 Career Clusters™ and their Career Pathways.* *Cite: National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium. (2012).

STATE SKILL STANDARDS

The state skill standards are designed to clearly state what the student should know and be able to do upon completion of an advanced high school career and technical education (CTE) program. The standards are designed for the student to complete all standards through their completion of a program of study. The standards are designed to prepare the student for the end-of-program technical assessment directly aligned to the standards. (Paragraph (a) of Subsection 1 of NAC

389.800)

EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FOR CAREER READINESS STANDARDS Employability skills, often referred to as "soft skills," have for many years been a recognizable component of the standards and curriculum in career and technical education programs. The twenty-one standards are organized into three areas: (1) Personal Qualities and People Skills; (2) Professional Knowledge and Skills; and (3) Technology Knowledge and Skills. The standards are designed to ensure students graduate high school properly prepared with skills employers prioritize as the most important. Instruction on all twenty-one standards must be part of each course of the CTE program. (Paragraph (d) of Subsection 1 of NAC 389.800)

CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

The Nevada CTE Curriculum Frameworks are organized utilizing the recommended course sequencing listed in the program of study and the CTE Course Catalog. The framework identifies the recommended content standards, performance standards, and performance indicators that should be taught in each course. CAREER AND TECHNICAL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS (CTSOS) To further the development of leadership and technical skills, students must have opportunities to participate in one or more of the Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). CTSOs develop character, citizenship, and the technical, leadership and teamwork skills essential for the

workforce and their further education. Their activities are considered a part of the instructional day

when they are directly related to the competencies and objectives in the course. (Paragraph (a) of

Subsection 3 of NAC 389.800)

WORKPLACE READINESS SKILLS ASSESSMENT

The Workplace Readiness Skills Assessment has been developed to align with the Nevada CTE Employability Skills for Career Readiness Standards. This assessment provides a measurement of student employability skills attainment. Students who complete a program will be assessed on their

skill attainment during the completion level course. Completion level courses are identified by the

letter "C". (e.g., Level = L3C) (Paragraph (d) of Subsection 1 of NAC 389.800)

END-OF-PROGRAM TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT

An end-of-program technical assessment has been developed to align with the Nevada CTE Skill Standards for this program. This assessment provides a measurement of student technical skill attainment. Students who complete a program will be assessed on their skill attainment during the

completion level course. Completion level courses are identified by the letter "C". (e.g., Level = L3C)

CERTIFICATE OF SKILL ATTAINMENT

Each student who completes a course of study must be awarded a certificate which states that they

have attained specific skills in the industry being studied and meets the following criteria: A student

must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in their approved course of study, pass the Workplace Readiness Skills Assessment, and pass the end-of-program technical assessment. (Subsection 4 of

NAC 389.800)

CTE ENDORSEMENT ON A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

A student qualifies for a CTE endorsement on their high school diploma after successfully completing the following criteria: (1) completion of a CTE course of study in a program area, (2) completion of academic requirements governing receipt of a standard diploma; and (3) meet all requirements for the issuance of the Certificate of Skill Attainment. (NAC 389.815)

CTE COLLEGE CREDIT

CTE College Credit is awarded to students based on articulation agreements established by each college for the CTE program, where the colleges will determine the credit value of a full high school CTE program based on course alignment. An articulation agreement will be established for each CTE program designating the number of articulated credits each college will award to students who complete the program. CTE College Credit is awarded to students who: (1) complete the CTE course sequence with a grade- point average of 3.0 or higher; (2) pass the state end-of-program technical assessment for the program; and (3) pass the Workplace Readiness Assessment for employability skills. Pre-existing articulation agreements will be recognized until new agreements are established according to current state policy and the criteria shown above.

Please refer to the local high school's course catalog or contact the local high school counselor for

more information. (Paragraph (b) of Subsection 3 of NAC 389.800)

ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR CTE COURSEWORK

Career and technical education courses meet the credit requirements for high school graduation (1

unit of arts and humanities or career and technical education). Some career and technical education

courses meet academic credit for high school graduation. Please refer to the local high school's course catalog or contact the local high school counselor for more information. (NAC 389.672) NEVADA CTE CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK 2018
